CNN played the coordinator feed live for the ballon drop. We heard:
"Go balloons! Go balloons!"
"More balloons! Where the hell are the balloons?"
"I want more balloons, God Dammit!"
"What the f*ck are you guys doing up there?!"
CNN didn't have anything to do with the balloons, or cueing them to drop. But they did have a mike on the convention producer who was in charge of it.
What the f*** bump.
It was from a Kerry producer.
Drudge has it.
Drudge HAS IT UP ON HIS SITE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Darn, I missed this! Is there a link to the audio?
(((PING)))
It was the DNC coordinator. Somehow, CNN had his communications link tapped into their feed.
Here is a copy of my complaint to the FCC:
Sirs,
At 8:30 pm Pacific time, at the end of John Kerry's speech accepting his nomination for President of the United States, I was watching with my two daughters age 11 and 12 on CNN. Someone used the "F" word about the balloons falling.
This was very embarrassing to both me and my children, especially in the context of such an important and patriotic event. I hope that you take action against CNN so that they take the necessary steps to avoid such humiliating language from being broadcast again.
Priceless.
"Balloon guys what are you doing up there"
Drudge's site is getting lit up right now.
That feels soooooo good.
Oh, it was the perfect ending. They began with Whoopie and ended with the "F" word!
Oh, I see. So it was CNN, on the spot with breaking news! They deserve congrats. Wolf should lay off the apologies. He was just bringing us history in the raw, with onions.
I just downloaded the file off of Drudge. I shall cherish it...always.
REPUBLICAN DIRTY TRICK! I just know they're behind this! Arrrrrrrrgh! G D digital brownshirts!

It is graphic. Ddo not listen if you are offended by the F- WORD
Be sure to bump me on the info, please.
My guess is that Mr. Producer is going to be looking for a new balloon-coordinator job in the morning.
Just keep him away from MSG...I'm sure he can find a new gig doing children's birthday parties. Just has to clean up the language a bit.
hehehehehehe maybe this can be a FR Canteen special! ;-)
They can excuse this away from now to the end of time.......but it is on a par with the little bunny foo foo picture.
